Is It Time to Replace Your Vibrator?

Wanting a new sex toy isn’t quite the same as needing a new one. Shopping because you enjoy it is one thing. Replacing an existing toy, like your favorite vibrator, is another, especially when you’re on a budget.

How do you know it’s time? Here are a few signs.

Your Vibrator Dies Too Soon

Whether its rechargeable or uses batteries, it can’t hold a charge. You’re constantly plugging it in or buying new batteries. Worse, it’s running out of steam in the middle of your sexy fun! This is a clear sign that something isn’t right. If your vibrator is more than a year old and has seen a lot of use, this is likely due to age.

For luxury vibrators, consider checking the warranty — many include a one-year manufacturer warranty. And if you’ve had your vibrator for only a short time, check with the sex toy store where you bought it. They may have an exchange program or return policy that covers you, especially if you just bought it.

Your Vibrator Feels Less Powerful

Your vibrator holds its charge, but it’s lacking its usual oomph. Maybe the top setting no longer hits the right spot. Maybe you keep moving up to new settings to get the same sensation as the lower one. This is a sign of a dying motor.

If your vibrator feels good, keep using it. But if you lose the added range of stimulation you really want, it may be time to shop for a new toy. Again, though, like before, if you’ve barely had it any length of time, it may be covered under a return policy or warranty. But if you’ve put serious miles on your vibrator, it may be showing its age.

Your Vibrator Doesn’t Always Turn On

Like the battery and the settings, this is a clear sign that something isn’t quite right. One button may stop working completely. Or it might only work some of the time. Either way, it’s definitely wearing out and not working when you need it.

We may sound like a broken record, but check your warranty for higher-end vibrators. For brand new toys, check with the adult store where you purchased it. It may be covered under the store’s return policy. Make sure you have your receipt, though, as that will likely be needed for proof of purchase and to show how recently you bought it.

Your Vibrator Makes More Noise Than Usual

This doesn’t necessarily happen to all aging or worn-out vibrators, but it’s a possibility. Especially if your vibrator uses ABS plastic and is already kind of loud. If you experience this with your toy, you’re likely already noticing other problems like a dying battery or less power. It might mean that parts in the motor are wearing out.

Your vibrator may be noisier than ever and still work well. You don’t have to replace it while it does its job unless that noise gives you away to your kids, family, or roommates. The easiest way to avoid awkward conversations is to own a more discreet sex toy.

You Don’t Reach For Your Vibrator Anymore

Your vibrator works just fine. It’s got plenty of power and isn’t making strange noises. You just don’t feel like using it. Assuming this isn’t a wider problem with desire, arousal, libido, or sexual health, it might mean you’re bored with your vibrator. Sometimes not using it for a while can bring back the desire to play with it. But sometimes, it’s a sign that you need a different toy.

Think about why you don’t want to use your current vibrator. Does it lack power? Do you prefer more settings? Is it not hitting your most sensitive spots? Whatever it doesn’t have, look for those features in your new vibrator.

Conclusion

You don’t need a reason to replace an old vibrator. Buy yourself a new one because it makes you happy.
